Carl Bloch sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #361E15, is reserved to 11.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 70 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 8 of Carl Bloch's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
